Songs for Our Journey 29

Picture
In the spring of 2003 I discovered, in a deep meditation, my own heart.  As I walked around in the world, I saw that the same heart is at the core of everyone and everything.   When the next Christmas season rolled around, I saw the Christmas story in a new way.  The baby Jesus brought love into the world, the same way every child does, because the divine heart of Jesus is the same divine heart we all share.   I wrote this song to express the joy of that One heart in every child, and in every grownup too, and in every tree, river, rock, earthworm.  The baby in the photo above is my sister Meg, and I am the toddler checking her out in amazement.  Where did this creature come from?  Meg was born in summertime, June 7th, 1951.
Every Little Child
© K Hannan 2003
One little child was born on Christmas day
One little child was born on Christmas day
One little child, one little child
One little child was born on Christmas day

One little child was born in Summertime
One little child was born in Summertime
One little child, one little child
One little child was born in Summertime

One little child was born in Spring
One little child was born in Spring
One little child, one little child
One little child was born in Spring

One little child was born in Autumn time
One little child was born in Autumn time
One little child, one little child
One little child was born in Autumn time

And the angels came, did you hear them sing?
In the shining light of the maternity wing
Sayin' "People do not be afraid, Love is new.
In the heart of every child Love is born to you!"

Love is born, love is born
Love is born in the rivers, in the mountains
Love is born in the heart of every child
Love is born
Love is born in the foxes, in the earthworms
Love is born in every living thing
Love is born in you and me right now

​And the angels came, did you hear them sing?
In the shining light of the maternity wing
Sayin' "People do not be afraid, Love is new.
In the heart of every child Love is born to you!"
In the heart of every child Love is born to you
In the heart of every child
In the heart of every child
In the heart of every child
Love is born!
